SF membership to decide
As Sinn Féin delegates gather for their Ard Fheis in Dublin this
weekend, the debate on last week's Agreement is gathering pace.
The party's Ard Comhairle met on Tuesday and will meet again
before the Ard Fheis. Before that, the Sinn Féin leadership is
engaged in a series of briefings with their membership throughout
the country.
``The leadership of Sinn Féin will meet, deliberate and hold
further discussions at every opportunity but it is the membership
of Sinn Féin who will make the final decision,'' said Gerry Adams.
That decision will take place after an intensive, comradely
debate over the next few weeks.
Meanwhile divisions within unionism increased on Wednesday when
the Grand Lodge of the Orange Order said they could not recommend
the Agreement. It is a decision which is sure to put pressure on
the Trimble leadership in advance of Saturday's Ulster Unionist
Council meeting.
